View 2 RepliesI am running XP. The system is crawling. When I do a Task Manager or Ctrl Alt Delete, the little green square is full up and this is with no programs running except Windows. I am using Finity Soft Memory Manager and this program says Free Ram 54%, Memory Load Index 44%, and CPU 100%. How do I find out what programs are running other than using Task Manager which shows no programs running?

View 1 Replies View RelatedWindows Task Manager shows my CPU usage at 50% when my computer is idle. The only process it shows running is the last one on the list "System Idle Pr..." What is going on here? Also sometimes Windows won't shut down the normal way and I have to just turn the power off. Could these problems be related?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI recently put my hard drive back into my laptop that had been damaged. While the laptop was being repaired I used an enclosure to access my data and changed the permissions on it several times and I think that may be part of my problem. When I first put it in I could access everything okay, but first I had to change my permissions which I did. After that I tried installing new software (itunes) and it said I didn't have proper access, so I went in and messed with the permissions again. Now after I log on I'm greeting with a black screen. I can access the task manager, but nothing else

Under Task Manager for XP, under Processes, there is quite a bit running. I have everything unchecked under msconfig start up. What all do I need to have running under task manager and where do I go to get rid of these programs running under processes?

View 5 Replies View RelatedIve been having problems with my desktop computer. If you open up any program, the CPU usage immeaditely goes from like 0 to 100% and occassionally it will shut down and restart. Such times are when I try to run ad-aware or AVG. It will shoot up to 100%, maybe run for a minute then restart the computer. I cant even delete some files because it just restarts before they delete. So, I tried to do a restore since the last time ive been home when it was working good, about a month ago and it did nothing.
View 14 Replies View RelatedMy computer has been chogging quite a bit lately after booting up and continues to run sluggish...I've noticed the explorer.exe in my task manager is running extremely high. It seems to start up about 5 minutes after booting up, and continues to wreak havoc. I've seen this to be a problem everywhere from an a hole virus to RAM not sitting correctly. I've ran Ad Aware, AVG and a few others to check for a virus or anykind of malicious spyware...everything has come back clean.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently downloaded some media files and straight after my computer slowed down to a crawl and then would not respond. The mouse pointer remains active but i cannot click on anything succesfully. The task bar and task manager do not respond at all, i can open files saved on my desktop but cannot do anything when they're open and cannot close them again. I reset my PC a number of times but this did not solve the problem. I assume this is a virus or spyware problem but could it possibly be anything else?
View 17 Replies View RelatedYou know how after you end a program using End Task in Task Manager, it asks you if you want to tell Microsoft about the problem? I was able on my other XP system to change an option somewhere so it doesn't ask me that any more. I just can't remember how I did it.

View 7 Replies View RelatedA friend of mine has a 4 yr. old PC running XP Home with 128Mb of memory. He's had problems with programs aborting recently. I tried to run Device Manager to make sure there were no issues there. It briefly brought the screen up, then it went away. The same thing happened to Task Manager when I tried to see what was running and how much memory was being used. Anybody ever see this behavior before? I might try installing a memory cleaner pgm (ie. Memturbo), but I'm not sure I would even be able to get it to run. The hard drive amd memory seem to have no errors.
